MichałRomulo, the problem is that username is Joomla! obligatory field and you can't change it. It's not part of JomSocial so you can't use profile fields to manipulate it... sorry JomSocial limits are Joomla! guidelines...1 year ago

Siniša KrišanThere are some plugins that eliminate the need for username (although it still created in the database) and making Joomla to use that system will simply force JomSocial to adopt to it.

I know it sounds funny, but JomSocial does not actually handle Joomla user sessions (login/logouts etc..) It is all carefully crafted to look like it does but it's actually Joomla's responsibility to take care of...There are some plugins that eliminate the need for username (although it still created in the database) and making Joomla to use that system will simply force JomSocial to adopt to it.

Search JED for "email as username" or "email login". I'm sure you will find several plugins for that purpose.
Same goes for mobile phones/sms registrationShow more

a GuestNo Dimas That issue was sorted months ago, I refer to the Radius issue with Socialse v2 template. The login issue was simply resolved by enabling Joomla's default Login module (without) a position declared.2 years ago

a Guest hi @[[5481247:contact:Zurkster]] please create new topic on forum for that.. dont forget to provide us the screenshoot2 years ago

RomuloThank you guys, but the problem is: with this condition, is ok to buy a hosting plan for 1 year? Because if JomSocial can not run smooth with this limitation then is not good idea to pay for this service.2 years ago

AlbertusRomulo could you please asking that hosting company. to make sure you can using own php config for your domain? it's pretty rare if that hosting not allowing it. 2 years ago

a GuestEven if you're on a shared hosting solutions they should still permit a limited range of php configuration modifications, especially event timings and cron jobs. You could ask your hosting company to increase the value if you have no direct access.2 years ago
